Reviews

The issues which Elkins raises are... fascinating, thoughtful, and provocative. Only an 'outsider' to the field could raise them, and Elkins is perhaps the only outsider who could. His knowledgability about art theory is exemplary. -- Jerome Silbergeld, PY and Kinmay W Tang Professor of Art History, Princeton University
